"If it is, be warned that Global Warming skeptics maybe risk legal action against them."

A Global Warming activist has suggested this past week that
"Global Warming skeptics" should be hauled before a Nurnberg-type trial.
The mind boggles that indirect comparison should be made between Nazi war criminals
and Global Warming skeptics.


I was responding on the topic of Jacob's root post: The implication that those who deny global warming are being threatened with legal action as a way to suppress their point of view. I addressed the inflammatory spin being put on it by putting the root quote back into context: It's an analogy, not a threat; it's an attribution of moral responsibility to those who knowingly make false claims and cause great harm.

Please don't reframe what I said.
